Classification [edit]. Pidgins and creoles are often classified in terms of their superstrate and substrate languages. The superstrate language is the language on which the pidgin or creole is primarily based, and is usually the language of the colonizing people.
Here are some brief descriptions of the Trail as it passes through the fourteen states that are home to portions of it. The mileages are fairly accurate, but don't take them as gospel. Reroutings of the Trail cause the trail mileage to change from year to year. You can keep up with the actual changes by getting a copy of the Data Book, which is issued yearly. Do not count on all information provided by various out-links as it is hard for files to be kept up to date.
Some choose to hike the entire trail in one calendar year; this is called a âthru-hike.â A thru-hike normally takes from 4-7 months and winds along the 2,168 miles and 14 states the trail passes through. In the fall of 2000, Iâd been fighting wildfires for many years.
